Ex-wife, Please Come Back

"Are you really going to rub salt in my wounds, Bess? How could you say something like that?" Sara hissed, pretending to be mad at Bess as she sat down with her back to Bess.

"Well, I'm sorry, Sara, but that was not my intention. Who knows what's going on between them? I still don't understand it, you know?"

Bess replied, shaking Sara, which gave her a headache. "All right, I'll forgive you. I think Noah has spoiled you too much," Sara said with a sigh.

"What? Whose side are you even on, Sara? I am your best friend. How could you say such a thing to me?" Bess muttered with discontent as though Sara had made a big mistake.

"Of course I'm on your side, Princess, but could you stop making such a fuss? You're making me nervous. At least tell me before you do something like that again, okay?"

Sara said with a soft smile as she turned to look at her friend.

"By the way, please ask them to stop looking for me. Noah is going to be mad at me," Bess urged because she was too embarrassed to inform Noah herself.

"All right, fine, but stop rushing me. I'll call them." Saying that, Sara took out her cellphone and called Jacob.

Bess waited anxiously for Sara to disconnect the call. "What's wrong? Where are they?" she asked.

With a serious expression, Sara replied, "Noah was looking for you everywhere, but you completely ignored him, so he's really angry now. He's not going to look for you anymore."

"He has been so patient with me. I feel so guilty. Hearing what you said, I... I..."

Bess stammered, blushing.

"What? Tell me." Sara controlled her urge to let out a chuckle and pretended to be serious.

"I don't feel guilty anymore," Bess said with a snort and turned around, feeling upset.

"All right, all right, I was just kidding. Stop taking things so seriously. Wait for a few minutes, and they'll be here, okay?" Sara said, rolling her eyes at her.
